Van Cleave Lubrication
 |
This stuff is AMAZING. Not only is it as thick as cold honey, but it is as smooth as silk on all slides. Our slide lube is not only smooooth, but also very sticky and will STAY on the slide and last long after all other slide oils have evaporated or dried out.
Our engineers developed this compound using the highest grade and most durable PETROLEUM BASED synthetic lubricants available today. As a synthetic, it maintains viscosity in both extreme warm AND cold playing situations ...and because it is derived from petroleum and not a true synthetic, it does not leave residue deposits on your horn like many of the new true synthetic oils and lubricants do. You get all of the viscosity and temperature benefits of a synthetic without the residue buildup.
The Petroleum based synthetics start with petroleum products and area refined down until the molecular size falls into the range of synthetic specs. Basically this is a HIGHLY refined petroleum product that gives you the benefits of both REAL oil and also real synthetics at the same time.

NEW MVRB Modular Bell Bb Trumpet
 |
The MVR (Removable Bell) is our newest modular design model available. All of our bells are available in this configuration for a very versatile instrument. MV1, MV2, MV1L, MV2L, MV3 bells are all available. Mix and match the bell you need for the sound you want. Each MVRB comes with one (1) bell of your choice with additional bells available. |
NEW MV3 Trumpet
NEW MVF1 Rose Brass Bell Flugelhorn
 |
The Van Cleave Flugelhorns have been designed with real playing in mind. These Flugelhorns draw from some of the most successful designs of the vintage Flugelhorns of the past while introducing important design improvements for efficient performance.
The Van Cleave Flugelhorn design recreates the feel and sound of the most popular Flugelhorns ever built and is breaking new ground in flugelhorn design for today's most demanding playing situations. Matching both leadpipe and bell designs to produce acoustically balanced instruments with unparalleled performance.
